Steps to edit messages
To use the edit feature, tap and hold the message you want to edit. Next, select "Edit" from the pop-up menu to make changes to the text.
After editing, tap "Send" to update the message, which will display an "Edited" label next to it. Upon clicking on it, previous text will be displayed.
This ensures both parties are aware of any modifications made.

It is important to note that:
Recipients might have already read the original message in the chat or via a notification before it's edited.
